Maximizing Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.
• Reduce the backlight timeout (Changing the Backlight
Settings, page 14).
• Turn off Bluetooth wireless technology when you are not
using connected features (Turning Off the Bluetooth
Smartphone Connection, page 6).
• Turn off activity tracking (Activity Tracking Settings, page 13).
• Use a watch face that is not updated every second.
For example, use a watch face without a second hand
(Customizing the Watch Face, page 13).
• Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays
(Managing Notifications, page 6).
• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices
(Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices, page 7).
• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the
Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 8).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate
vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.
How can I manually pair ANT+ sensors?
You can use the device settings to manually pair ANT+ sensors.
The first time you connect a sensor to your device using ANT+
wireless technology, you must pair the device and sensor. After
they are paired, the device connects to the sensor automatically
when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within
range.
1
Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other ANT+ sensors while
pairing.
2
If you are pairing a heart rate monitor, put on the heart rate
monitor.
The heart rate monitor does not send or receive data until
you put it on.
3
Hold UP.
4
Select > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
5
Select an option:
• Select Search All.
• Select your sensor type.
After the sensor is paired with your device, a message
appears. Sensor data appears in the data page loop or a
custom data field.
